The Tragic Margot Kidder
 |
She was a fetching, comely young woman who portrayed the character with an inherent humor and impeccable theatric timing that took me by surprise.
Margaret Ruth Kidder, aka Margot Kidder was a character actress who portrayed various roles and her career was successful up to the time she fell victim to the bizarre episodes resulting from bipolar disorder.
I always had a soft spot in my heart for her since her portrayal of Lois Lane having been extensively read in the superman saga as the result of the entertainment reading I engaged during childhood.
I recall her appearance on a television entertainment news show after she gained a part following quite a lengthy hiatus ...
She was decked out in a period sun bonnet and long frilly dress but that difference between her at that time and the actor I remembered were striking and somewhat shocking.
She was said to fall victim to a drug and alcohol overdose with her passing at her home in Livingston, Montana on May 13, 2018. It was later said to be a suicide.
It's easy to get carried away.
Whatever the cause, she was a talented actor and the world is less for losing her to such tragedy.
